To all whom it may concern,

zen of the United States,

New York have invented'anew and'useful Portable SawingMach ine, of which, the following is a specification. j:

This invention relates; to; p rta-ble sawing one of its objectsbeingto provide a machine wardly, erly cut the logs adjacent to the machine.

A further object isto provide a machine of thischaracter which is simple. in construction and can be easily manipulated.

With the foregoing and otherobjectsin, view'which will appear as the descrlption proceeds, theinventlonresides in the combination and arrangement ofiparts and in the details of construction hereinafter described Sand 7 claimed, 25.

'it being understood that changes. in the precise embodlment of :the

invention herein disclosed, can bepmade withinthe scope of whatis claimed, wlthout departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings :Figure' 1 is aside ele-,

aw] adjusting mechathence downwardly "Thus it willbe seen 1 End of the frame 4, the same being pivotally I Be-it known that-I, KARL DIEHL, -2l f cit1- residing at Roches ter, in the county 0f-Monroe ,andjStatej of connected, thereto by a shaft 12on which .a pulley 13 is mounted to rotate. This hanging frame 11;isprovide 'd, at its lower end, :with a shaft 14 toonevendofwhich ,is secured a circular saw 15 while a pulley 16 is also secured to tion through a. pulley 13. .;A guide rod 18 is carried by the a'nging'fraine 11 and extendsparallel thereln anfarm 19 which bears downwardly on the platform 1 and is slidably mounted Within a transversely extending housing 20, that portion of the arm 19 within the housing being toothed to form a rack 21. A gear 22 meshes with this rack and is secured to the lower end of an upstanding shaft 23, this" shaft being provided at its upper end with a crank arm 2etor the like whereby it can be rotated readily. Thus it will be seen Patented Sept. 22, 1914;

this shaft and receives 1110:; belt 17 or the like fromthe A ENl-iornion.

that by rotating shaft 23 and gear 22 in one direction, the rack 21 will be slid outwardly,

thus pushing against the rod 18 and causing frame 11 to swing outwardly whereas, when the rotation of the part 22 is reversed, the frame 11 will be swung inwardly.

A Windlass 25 is supported above theplatform and has a wori gear revoluble there with, this gear being shown at 26. This means of a crank arm 29 or in any-other suitable manner. A cable 30 is secured at one end to the Windlass and extends over suitably disposed guide sheaves 31 and to the upper frame 4:- that when the Worm 27 is rotated in one direction, the cable 30 will be wound upon the Windlass and frame 4 and all parts connected thereto will be elevated," whereas, when the rotation of the Windlass is reversed, the frames 1 and 11 will be permitted to gravitate.

In uslngthemachine, the same is moved to iaoposltionat one side of the log to be cut and aften the motor has been started,the saw 15'is shifted downwardly and outwardly so as to properly engage the log and cut through it, it being understood'that motion Will be transmitted to the saw through the belt 9 11013111163 10 and thence through a belt 32 to, the pulley 13 which, in turn, drives the belt 17 and pulley 16. By means of the crank 24, "the saw 15can be pushed 65 Wi yffihis rod b'eing-slid b s l with: V g g 85 gear is engaged by a worm 27 secured to a I shaft 28. which is adapted to be rotated'by Copies otjthis patent may be obtained for laterally away from ortoward the machine" and by manipulating the Worm 27, the circular saw can be raised or lowered.

If desired and as shown in Figs. 1 andfQ, a gage may be used in connection With the frame 11 to enable the operator to cut the logs into uniform lengths. In the structureshown, this gage includes a rod 33 6X7 tended substantially horizontally through -said arm relative to the supporting structhe frame 11 and having a dependingarm 34 at its freeend adapted to come against one end of thelog being cut. This gage can be adjusted to bring the arm 34 any desired distance from the frame 11.

What is claimed is porting and guiding structure, an pp framei m g p ardly and A Wood sawing machine, including a sup clowntvardly relative sai d structure, a

, frame hung fromand adapted to swing relative to the upper frame, and means for swinging the hanging frame laterally away from or toward the supporting structure,

.said means including a guide rod carried by theha'nging frame, ported by the structure and slidably ena slidable arm supgaged by the rod, 3 and means for shifting ture. a a V Intestim'ny that I claim the foregoing as my ('XWI I", ture' in'the presence of two witnesses.-
